Not wanting the job is a good thing. That's how it should be...
...or wild kitchen yeast or whatever.
There is a lid in this photo, but I've opted to keep the container open for the first few days to encourage wild yeasts to settle in. Once the fermentation starts picking up I'll transfer to another container. I'm following Sandor Katz's fast and loose recipe from The Art of Fermentation...I expect to learn valuable lessons or reap unexpected rewards. Or maybe both.
"I WROTE A HIT PLAY! And I'm in love with you, you piece of shit."
Let's see how this goes. Water and raw honey, 4:1, hoping for a wild yeast mead. First time, so fingers crossed
A backpack and some paracord can be an effective solution. Learn a few basic knots and find some spots you can attach to...you can have a secure bag on the bike and a comfortable bag off it.
This is what happens, Larry!
There's one of these interchanges at the junction of Rt 59 and I-88 in Naperville, IL...historically a notorious junction. It was and is a bit strange to roll through intermittently, but anecdotally people in the area seem to think its improved traffic flow. It does catch unfamilar drivers off guard, tho, especially during off-peak hours when there isn't much traffic to follow.
Not a dev nor a privacy/security expert, but if you've had issues with system updates breaking stuff, I'd steer clear of Fedora and roll with something a bit more stable and consistent, like Debian or Ubuntu LTS releases. The 6-month system upgrade cycle is pretty onerous with Fedora.
I was gifted that game and between my rapidly falling temperature and hunger and my poorly coordinated attempts at stunning baby rabbits, just gave up about 15 mins in. Is it worth it to give it another shot? I've tried twice now...
Looks a lot like my list.
Lavender bar soap unmolded and a week deep into its cure. Had some issues unmolding where the soap stuck in the corners, which is visible in the bottom right bar. Color is better now than it was out the gate, but still not quite what I had hoped for. All issues with this batch probably stem from the high proportion of Shea butter: crack after pouring into mold, sticking in the mold, bars feel a bit too soft. Proportion of butter was twice as high as it should been, but lesson learned. Will report back when it's ready for use!
First attempt at a ginger bug. Today is day 3 of fermentation, unsure what I'm going to soda-fy yet...maybe some apple cider? Still pretty cool.
I know its nothing fancy, but it's a huge step up from the no-name, no-info stone I picked up from a restaurant supply shop years ago. I'll keep y'all posted on my adventures.
Also, where is everyone?
...and whipped up a few pounds of this lavender scented olive oil, coconut oil, and shea butter behemoth. Color is a not exactly what I was after and I think the proportion of the shea butter was too high (hence the crack), but I'm hoping it'll still be a nice batch. Will update when I unmold and again after the cure.
